Might I suggest using a personal/professional website that you control. You could even pay someone to set this up for you. But nobody uses those any more. Could it be that that’s the real issue: voluntarily handing over control of your

Let me just ask the obvious question here: why publish this on Facebook at all? I genuinely want to understand why people keep using it as a primary publishing source.

There’s usually a “pricing” top section to make things transparent and easy to find. Also, there’s no free lunch. You should be clear about how you plan to sustain the business long-term.

Clearly you have never been in this situation. I once held a job where I had exactly one hour of work to do each day and nothing else to do. If I put my mind to it, I could finish a weeks’s worth of work in half a day. The rest was wasted t

This has more to do with bureaucratic unwillingness to admit to mistakes than anything else. This is what you get when everyone in the decision chain is just doing what they are “supposed to do”, without giving it a second thought. Accordin

Correct. Gmail is an example for token-based access. And usually there’s not much to object to if such services are upfront about what they’re doing and why. If they don’t state that explicitly in their terms of service it’s even more probl

Lately, every time I read something like this, I think: if you build/maintain a system where such behavior is possible or even incentivized, you will get more of the same behavior. If you want this to change, at the very minimum, crook

Spark however enables full access to all your email to their servers to enable stuff like notifications. They do not note that when setting it up. Essentially, they store your login credentials on a remote server, somewhere, under their c

This is exactly why I have become increasingly wary of any new app to store any kind of long-term data in. The fact that an OS update breaks an app and the developer is unwilling or unable to fix it is unacceptable in my book.

This is a double-edged sword. Changing the TOS silently is a no-go but so is the absurd resource-burning just for crypto mining. Had they done this with a couple of days’ notice it would be a non-issue.

So do I. I even write documentation for personal projects, as a manual to my future self. However, absolutely every team I've ever worked with held a majority view of documentation being unnecessary. Some even mentioned "code as d

I find it fascinating and frustrating that this is part of why I became a vegan 25 years ago, yet almost nothing has changed for the animals in that timeframe. I guess we have a long way to go to become a compassionate species.

What I’ve always wondered is what the issue is with using essentially any gallery service (or even a cloud drive with semi-public links for this) and just send that link to those people via their email address. Why would I need to use a ser

Being able to voice your opinion without government interference or consequences is your right. However, there is no right to be heard, hosted, given air time, published or even listened to. In the example of conservatives, if you align you

I believe they did so to fire a warning shot, to be able to argue later that they were not banning immediately. I bet they knew that guy wouldn’t be able to keep his thumbs in his pockets – and that’s 100% on him.

That may be. However, it strikes me that most if not all of these cases are US-based. The world works differently in different places.

AirPods Pro and Sony WH-1000XM3 for some great sound and (more important) some peace and quiet as a city apartment dweller. Sometimes I just keep them in/on without music. Other than that, proper rain apparel and a Fender Vintera 60’s
